moving-charges-and-magnetism Question 4

Question: Q. 4. A circular current loop of magnetic moment M is in an arbitrary orientation in an external magnetic field B. The work done to rotate the loop by 30 about an axis perpendicular to its plane is (a) MB. (b) 3MB2. (c) MB2. (d) zero.

Solution:

Ans. Correct option : (d)

Explanation : The work done to rotate the loop in magnetic field W=MB(cosθ1cosθ2).

When current carrying coil is rotated then there will be no change in angle between magnetic moment and magnetic field.

Here, θ1=θ2=α

W=MB(cosαcosα)=0.
